So I say, I say “Wait a minute… How come REI supports income streams so much better than Stock / Bond portfolios if it has the same return as stocks?”

Will Movie theatres exist in the future?  

We were able to create a great coworking lounge as well as build out a great entertaining space on the rooftop for stargazing, yoga, movie nights, dancing, great food, drinks and ocean and city views.It was in decent condition, just a lot of deferred maintenance, Has appreciated.

We should also never have a revenue stream and make money off a tenant's security deposit.

And document the hell out of everything, hell make a YT page dedicated to it all like a docu-movie.

This property would have multiple income streams, including as an airbnb, wedding venue, bed and breakfast, corporate retreat. 

Some amenities are crucial and obvious (pots and pans, plates, linens, good Wi-Fi), some are unnecessary and obviously so (personal movie theater with arcade game room), but the trickier amenities lie in the 2 middle zones.What are some necessary amenities that you might overlook? 

Assuming you have another stream of income when you move there and I hope you do, I would recommend using the smallest amount of capital possible and invest in the most doors (1-4 units) that you can. 

Although as @Drew Sygit asks, what have those PMs that pledged to do it better now learned that may bring them back into line with main stream service providers? 

You can PM me and I'll give you some names and numbers.I haven't seen the movie that Melanie quoted, but definitely see her point :)
